ISO 6182-5:2012规定了雨淋和预作用自动消防系统中使用的雨淋阀和制造商指定的相关阀内件的性能要求、试验方法和标记要求。这些要求涵盖的雨淋阀可通过液压、气动、电动、机械、手动或热力方式或其组合进行操作。 ISO 6182-5:2012未涵盖雨淋阀其他辅助部件或附件的性能和试验要求。 ISO 6182-5:2012不包括直接作用在阀门上的热量释放的热操作阀门。这种类型的阀门利用一个热力装置，如洒水器的连杆和杠杆装置或玻璃球，来保持阀门关闭。热设备的操作允许阀门打开。

ISO 6182-5:2012 specifies performance requirements, methods of test and marking requirements for deluge valves and manufacturer's specified relevant trim used in deluge and pre-action automatic fire protection systems. Deluge valves covered by these requirements can be operated by hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, mechanical, manual, or thermal means, or combinations thereof. Performance and test requirements for other auxiliary components or attachments to deluge valves are not covered by ISO 6182-5:2012. ISO 6182-5:2012 does not cover thermally operated valves released by heat acting directly on the valve. This type of valve utilizes a thermal device, such as the link-and-lever arrangement or glass bulb of a sprinkler, to hold the valve closed. Operation of the thermal device allows the valve to open.
